Emma Goldman was an important figure in the anarchist movement of the late 19th and early 20th century in the United States. Born in Lithuania in 1869, she emigrated to the United States in 1885 and became a prominent activist and writer in defence of women's rights, freedom of speech and the abolition of government and private property. Because of her radical ideas and political activism, she was imprisoned several times and finally deported to Russia in 1919. Despite the hardships and persecution she faced, Goldman continued to fight for her ideals and is remembered as one of the most influential figures of anarchism in the United States and around the world.
